Hosted by YACWA, the Forum is gathering key stakeholders and representatives from the youth sector to network and explore the current issues facing young people in the Mid-West.
Lotterywest grant funding of $918,569 will enable YACWA to engage two regional project officers who will be based in Geraldton and Albany, as well deliver a range of core services and initiatives that support the youth sector and young people in the regions, and encourage youth leadership and participation.
